Chapter 415 - Victory Strategy (2) (2/2)

‘I e could win in this contest…’ Chloe thought

In the ot their score Chloe felt her heart start to beat hard Of course, it wasn’t because she was curious about their score Actually, she was so anxious about their own score, wondering if their score was high enough to coes, who gave the Enzo pair 95, stood before the Anderson and Chloe pair, she couldn’t say anything because she just froze on the spot

Bastien said with a smile, “Are you nervous?”

“Yes, it’s a little scary”

“Don’t be scared You’ve always ood dishes in this contest That’s why you’ve come up here I believe you two So, please trust yourself”

When Bastien said that, she tried to figure out the score they could give her pair Since the Enzo pair and the Dobby pair got 95 points and 94 points, respectively, her pair needed to get at least 95 to be able to advance to the semi-finals If her pair scored 94 points and tied with the Dobby pair, they would share third place In that case, they iven another mission to compete with each other

“Oh, this is a scallops dish”

“Yeah,” Chloe replied in a quiet voice

Scallops cooking was a dish that always reminded her of her first dish It was also the first dish that she made with Min-joon But when she first trimmed the scallops and cooked them, she came to realize that she kne to cook a bit She felt completely different as a chef when she cooked beef, pork, and scallops, often said to be the trickiest to cook a all the seafood

She hoped that this scallops dish would be a symbol of victory for her

She opened hervoice

“We’ve served it with chickpea and yogurt sauce We based the scallops on a tandoori method The tandoori sauce was coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and saffron I think you had better try it first”

“Well, I aiting for your permission”

Asher lifted one of the scallops with a smile He picked two chickpeas with a fork, which pierced the baked scallop h the skin of the scallop When the juice soaked in the tandoori powder got stuck to the scallop, Asher, ed at thattheir age and experiences, Anderson and Chloe were really coes looked back at each other, chewing and enjoying the scallop dishes slowly

When they looked at each other’s expressions, they iht be a painful moment for the Anderson pair They felt heartbroken at the fact that only three pairs could survive today

“It’s a really good dish, Anderson, Chloe I don’t understand why Chloe was nervous before”

“Because there are h… I thought that”

“The skills of others can’t diminish your skills So much so that I couldn’t understand why Chloe was so nervous”

“Well, it’s because there are other excellent chefs here, so I thought our dish ood as theirs…”

“We can’t look down on your dish because of theets dark because the sun shi+nes”

“Thank you for saying that”

“Chick beans played a surprising role in this dish I thought it was siarnish very well Chick beans ap in the taste of the scallops, tandoori sauce, and yogurt A the dishes I tasted today, this was a dish whose perfection stood out”

After that, other judges gave their own feedback While hearing their comments, Anderson and Chloe felt like they beca to their evaluation, what they really cared about, pricking their ears, was the final score of their dish, not their coes soon read their minds As if they couldn’t help it, they looked at each other and announced their grading one by one And Anderson and Chloe quietly started calculating the scores in their minds

‘9 points, 97 points, 93 points, 95 points, so the average is…’

“The average score is 9375,” Bastien said in a sad voice

Their score was less than those of the Min-joon pair, the Dobby pair, and the Enzo pair

And it meant that today’s round was the last one for them in this contest

“Thank you for your hard work I hope you will continue tosaid that as if to corading

Tight-lipped, Anderson silently looked at the plate It was a good score—9375 points There were many participants here ere eli that score But he always felt defeated even if he got a good score He felt like he was a loser

He really decided that he would not be conscious of being defeated until he won finally He decided he would not feel distressed because he lagged behind others, but he really felt terrible at this ain that he was defeated
